Jitsi is a collection of free and open-source projects for secure, simple, and scalable real-time video conferencing, maintained by 8x8. The Jitsi stack combines a browser-based meeting application (Jitsi Meet), a WebRTC selective forwarding unit (Jitsi Videobridge), conference focus (Jicofo), SIP gateway (Jigasi), and broadcasting infrastructure (Jibri), along with web, mobile, desktop, and low-level SDKs for embedding meetings into other applications. Jitsi is also available as a fully managed offering — Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) — that exposes the same conferencing surface through a JWT-secured API and the Jitsi IFrame/External API.
Jitsi is listed with 10 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Video Conferencing, WebRTC, Real-Time Communication, Open Source, and Voice.
Jitsi’s developer surface includes developer portal, sandbox, documentation, getting-started guide, signup flow, pricing, tooling, and 33 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
